I'm most interested in Ocarina of Time's apparent fascination with a more logically constructed world. A floating platform is replaced with a crumbling bridge. A ladder suspended by nothing is held in place by a stone mechanism. I'm curious to see if the whole world abides by this design.

Who cares how fast a robot can run?? What we need is robots that can be in close collaboration with people, including helping the elderly in and out of bed and the bathroom, and being safe for people when in the same workspace.

Jackson saying "how could she possibly see another person’s interpretation clearly, let alone like it, especially when that interpretation is on screen and not in words?" is *extremely ungenerous*, something someone would quote tweet after reading only the headline and not the article.

It’s worth noting that Taco Bell identified the source before the FDA did, and promptly pulled it from their stores. The FDA didn’t even name the source until Taylor Farms outed themselves, and hasn’t issued a recall. Basically, Taco Bell is now a more reliable authority than the FDA.

It is recommended to start a playthrough of Paper Mario: The Origami King by dying 17 times in a row. The game has a hidden pity system that applies discounts to accessories. Dying 17 times allows Mario to reach Maximum Pity for a 90% discount, saving a lot of money over the course of the game.
Paper Mario: The Origami King contains a hidden internal pity system. Every time Mario suffers a failure or does something suboptimally in a battle, he receives "miss points" that unlock discounts on accessories at 15000, 30000, and 50000 points. While most actions accrue very few miss points compared to the amounts needed, dying in battle gains 3000 miss points.
As such, all Mario has to do is die in battle 17 times in a row at the beginning of a playthrough to quickly reach 50000 miss points and unlock the maximum discount, saving a lot of money.
Regular accessory price with 0 points
50% discount after dying 5 times (15000 points)
80% discount after dying 10 times (30000 points)
90% discount after dying 17 times (51000 points)
